IT IS DONE.

...no, really!

Is there anymore more to do besides minor stuff like speeling, building fighting tactics in-fill (blarch!) and the nasty one: testing weapon control modules? (I'm not doing it, I tried, but too many variables and I don't do code)

I think all the bugs have been found in Apocalypse. Almost 50% found by me - thats my claim to fame! ...and that I invented stun raiding last century!.

All apoc pages have maximal in-fill mefinks (TB nope) but can they ever be complete? Is there still a tactic missing?

My OCD-brain-dump is close to empty. Notes and scribbles from many others on ICQ and BBS over the years - thx.

I've saved all the apoc pages as full html and also the edit-page text-versions of this whole apoc section so it is not lost if ufopedia waffs away or others edit this apoc section back into the junker that it was... 'ave yer fil.

Nothing more to add... its been fun.

Goodbye,

Tony.

Don't do the blue chicken dance!

-Xcom Wiki is like no other. If any one feels like deleting/correcting/re-edited/formatting/moving my ramblings/posts/brain-dumps, you are quite welcome to do so. Many people usually get snotty about people stealing someones work, or changing it around or anything. Thats certainly '''not''' the case with me. I'm quite happy to see uniformness and structure where there may be none. I don't need to have my name after my posts. It's irrelevant to me if its there or not.
+Goodbye,
-If you want, feel free to edit/delete/move any of my posts that I have put in Xcom Wiki.
+Tony.
-hence,
+Don't do the blue chicken dance!

-'''HELLO'''
-I'm a fan of Xcom series, with Terror From The Deep being my favourite. I live in NSW, Australia. Born in 1974, started using computers at 23 years of age. I'm was a late starter, but I have taught myself about hardware (mainly) and a bit about software.
-==Computers==
-I don't know anything about software programming, and really, I'm not going to bother. Hardware is my forte.
-: I learnt about computers by trial and error. DOS 6.22 was unforgiving, but it only took up 12MB after a format of my 1GB harddrive, running on a Cyrix 6x86 P150+. WHoA!!!  The speed!
-: I had an AMD 500 K7 with a TNT2 Ultra 32MB video card. This was the computer where games "came to life", and me having no life! 3D era was upon us using Win98SE.
-: My current rig, a P4-C 2400 with a Radeon 9800....still running Win98SE! WHOA!!!
-Besides my regular work (which i won't bore you with), I volunteer at a charity that refurbishes old computers. I have access to Pentium 1 100s, to Pentium 4 2000s. I have a few computers, P1-233, P2-400, P3-866, and P4-C 2400. My four systems are "upgraded" with the hardware from the day. Eg: the P2 has 16MB AGPx1 video, whereas, the P3 has 32MB AGPx4 video. My computers can play any game in my collection. Syndicate and Privateer on the P1, Battlezone 2 on the P3 etc: Needless to say Xcom 1, 2, and 3 run perfect on the P2.
-==The Way I Am==
-I'm not fully into Xcom as some! (...for teaching me new things, many thanks to: MikeTheRed, NKF, Bomb Bloke, Zombie, Danial, Hobbes, JellyfishGreen). I play old games now and then between major game releases. And, editors have given the old games a new lease of life, none moreso than Xcom. (many thanks to Scott T. Jones, Khor Chin Heong). I just wish Xcom was revived.
-I am a bit of a late adopter, unless of course, I choose to use what PR spindoctors and Marketing Monkeys are shoving done my throat as the "next big thing". I don't see the need of getting a new mobile phone every 3 weeks, and I don't see the need for religion (but that's a different topic altogether).
